Legacy Character: Implied to be this in-universe. Her grandmother, Helen Churchill, was a very famous Pacificator of Light who untied Italy and helped to find many, many T-Pacificators. Bismun’s gambling on Daryl showing the talents her grandmother had.

Confirmed in chapter 43. Daryl definitely inherited every bit of Helen's power, and she is actually a very powerful Pacificator. The superiors, however, are afraid of another Castella incident, so they intentionally mislabeled Daryl as a weak "feebler."

Simple Staff: The staff was inherited from her grandmother. It is an old staff, obviously, and has a huge crack on the orb. Turns out her mother inflicted that crack on the staff when she hurled it into a wall after catching Helen teaching her granddaughter a few tricks...

With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Daryl is at a very real and legitimate risk of this - it's confirmed in chapter 43 that powers affect one's mental and physical health. Castella, who had the exact same power Daryl has, was infamous for her Sanity Slippage and the resulting murder of thousands of people. On the other hand, Daryl's grandmother Helen, who had this power too, didn't go insane. But , Helen did go blind and is so weak, she can barely move. Either way, Daryl's future doesn't look so bright.

Hates Being Touched: Don’t even touch her on the shoulder or you’ll get slapped with a sexual assault charge. That's because it's actually painful for her to be touched, thanks to her extensive burn scars.

Hidden Depths: Muneca's very inflexible about rules, right? Well... her parasol is actually a Sword Cane, for real - and the catch is that it's illegal. Our Muneca is actually breaking the rules, big time!

Apparently she's excellent at making coffee, much to Cinna's delight when she made authentic Italian cappuccino.

Really, it's more of a Screw the Difficulties, I Have Connections! thing, since Muneca is very strict about following rules. What's making it a bit hard for her to get promotions is part stubbornness, and part bad luck.

In particular, the reason Jacob hates her so much is that she once gave him her own special version of head noogie... called "Knuckles of Hell." (She uses her Playing with Fire power to intensify the pain... ouch.)

The Nicknamer: Again, especially towards Muneca, who hates being called "Doll."

The Smart Girl: Technically, her role is the intelligence and the guide of the platoon and she's also the default undercover agent. She certainly knows a lot about pretty much everything, and it’s her job to keep up on tabs on the current events. However, the some of the planning goes to Taffe and diplomacy goes to Larima.

Taffe Torbern

Berserk Button: So far, she’s the calmest member of the platoon, but we do see her having strong reactions (at least, for her) to two things: Larima being in danger and being teased about her crush on Gincoi.

Exact Eavesdropping: A different take on the trope: Taffe eavesdrops on people quite a bit, apparently because she’s nosy and just could. Sometimes she manages to catch important tidbits from the enemies.

The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: There’s no blowup yet between her and Larima, but there’s friction there; for example, Taffe refused to hug Larima back when they were reunited in Basque. According to Word of God, there’s a rift between them.

In chapter 42, they had a big fight off-screen. note The fight most likely was about the fact that Larima put herself at a huge risk (she almost died ), and as we know, Taffe is Not So Stoic when it comes to Larima...

Groin Attack: There’s a reason her only footwear are those steel-tipped boots.

Not So Stoic: She worries about her sister’s safety and she’s usually quick to leap to Larima’s defense. Very likely the reason she was so pissed at Larima when they reunited in Basque - Larima hadn’t told her that she was okay, so Taffe spent days worrying about her.

Using your power excessively shortens your lifespan, and we know that Taffe is deaf, and uses her power of air to help her hear. This means Taffe will die younger than her sister and friends. We also know that the sisters are the only family they have left. It's possible that Larima doesn't want to live without Taffe.

The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: There haven't been any blow-ups between her and Taffe yet, but friction is there; Taffe refused to hug her back and preferred to room with Cinna and Qamra instead of her. Word of God says there’s a rift between them which Larima doesn’t realize yet.

Larima now knows of it, thanks to their big fight in chapter 42. Let's just say that Taffe did not appreciate her actions in the previous chapter.

The Corrupter: A good example. She doesn't like the changes the Chancellor has done to the Pacificators, so she's working to bring him down and restore the Pacificators to the original Guardians of Peace.
